Pleasant surprise

How can anyone justify throwing out tests that determine promotion, just because not enough minorities passed it. I'm concerned about the 4 judges who are so blinding by their ideology that they would support such discrimination. I guess the quota system is still alive and well in 4 justices.

And the dipwad Sotomayer wouldn't even allow a rehearing. This is the activist we want on the Supreme Court? No thanks.

I would love to hear your justification that the justice system failed the failed firefighters.

no no no. Sotomayor is the FAIL. She will get confirmed, which is a FAIL. 4 bonehead justices agreed with her, which is a FAIL.

My bad.

I loved this quote: "The city declined to validate the test after it was given, a step that could have identified flaws or determined that there were no serious problems with it. In addition, city officials could not say what was wrong with the test, other than the racially skewed results."


sounds like quota's to me. For a society and political system taht is constantly preaching color blindness, they sure bring up color when it supports their cause.

Also Monday, retiring Justice David Souter said goodbye to his Supreme Court colleagues in a brief statement he read from the bench, saying they had "touched me more than I can say."

huhuhuhu

Puts a whole new meaning to "I touch myself".

Especially when thinking about Souter. :Shudder:

The court said it will reargue an important campaign finance reform case dealing with a scathing documentary about former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The justices put off an expected ruling in the case and will rehear the issues on September 9. It is unusual for the high court to return early from its summer recess to hear an appeal. The court usually begins its fall term in early October.
The justices apparently could not reach a conclusion on whether the film was subject to federal oversight regarding when and where it could be shown in an election year.
At issue was whether the 90-minute "Hillary: The Movie" -- as well as television ads to promote the film -- should have been subject to strict campaign finance laws on political advocacy or was instead a constitutionally protected form of commercial speech.

It's ridiculous that this is going on. A private citizen makes a film with his own opinion of Mrs. Clinton's political views and the Supreme Court is now going to decide if it was free speech or not?

It's not a free speech issue. It's a campaigning issue. When Michael Moore releases his little movies two weeks before an election, he also should be bound by regulations governing campaign material.

Is it?

Is it?

When Michael Moore releases a hatchet job on GWB a month before the election, is it a coincidence or is it campaign propaganda? If it's campaign propaganda, it should be subject to the same restrictions that apply to all campaign material.

I only consider it campaign propaganda if it's endorsed by a particular candidate or political party. I don't think the guy who made the film about Mrs. Clinton had any such endorsements, nor am I aware of any with any of Moore's films.
